Policy, Procedures and Training

SB 978

OverviewFebruary 24, 2020

Commencing January 1, 2020, local law enforcement agencies are
required to conspicuously post our policies, procedures and
training material on our website that would otherwise be
available to the public if a public information request was made
pursuant to the California Public Records Act (Source: Senate
Bill 978).

The Grass Valley Police Department utilizes the Lexipol platform.
“Lexipol’s Daily Training Bulletins use a proven system of solid,
realistic, ongoing and verifiable training to help personnel
learn to apply policies and improve their ability to make
well-reasoned decisions. These brief, scenario-based lessons
provide a convenient way to enhance your members’ policy
understanding.

The Grass Valley Police Department attends other trainings that
pertain to officer safety, tactics and deployment on various
incidents that have been deemed exempt from disclosure.
However, in the effort to be transparent for public interest
the department will list the trainings and post materials
that have been approved for disclosure.
